Campaign themes

2012

In the information submitted to Ballotpedia, Hester outlined the political philosophy behind his campaign:[1]

I believe that politics in South Carolina has become corrupted by money and by too much power in a single political party. I want to restore balance to the General Assembly in Columbia so that our government will get back to serving the interests of its citizens. I believe a society is best judged by how it treats its least powerful members, and I would like to restore that ideal.
